Three Thai athletes have qualified for the 2018 Winter Olympics, officials said yesterday. Mark and Karen competed at the Asian Winter Games in Sapporo earlier this year. With three representatives at the Pyeongchang Games in South Korea, it will be Thailand's biggest contingent in one Winter Olympics. Since the nation's official debut in the Winter Olympics in 2002, Thai athletes have appeared in every edition with the exception of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Blackmun said no Olympic sponsor or athlete had raised concerns about the safety of travelling to South Korea despite growing tensions between the US and North Korea.
